Castelli Prima Bibshorts Women's - black/dark grey 010

A better short

Shorts are an obsession at Castelli. They’re the most vital piece of clothing and one of the hardest to get right. Even though the Prima is the entry-level short, it shows that Castelli won’t compromise anything for comfort and performance. It starts with the women’s-specific KISS Air² seat pad. Just the name gives an idea of the process of constant improvement, which started with a soft KISS pad that was improved by making it more breathable (Air) and then improved again in the latest update to use the softestever top fabric (2). It’s ready for your next big ride indoors or out.

Castelli has updated the fabric to the new Pro Dry Soft, which has a smooth matte finish that feels cool on the skin while being very supportive and quick to dry. Castelli wanted this short to be just right for many years to come, so little details like the reflective patches are stitched in instead of being glued on, and the Giro³ elastic has the grip woven right into the fabric. This attention to detail — go ahead and call it an obsession — is why Castelli’s entry-level short is just a better short.
